At 4:58am on Monday, August 10, 2020, the Ocean Pines Vol. Fire Department was alerted for a fuel spill on Ocean Parkway near the Ocean Expressway (Rt 90) overpass. Dispatch provided further details once units were responding to the scene; the fuel spill occured due to a motor vehicle collision w/ rollover, no injuries reported. Chief Grunewald was the first to arrive on scene establishing command and confirming a fuel spill with one car already righted and on a tow truck. Arriving fire and paramedic units checked the driver for injuries (sole occupant) and treated the fuel spill with absorbent. Thankfully, the driver was wearing their seat belt and refused further medical assistance. After a short period of cleanup, command was terminated and all OPVFD units returned to station.
